Artist description Javed has been writing and recording songs in his home studio since 1990. He has a vast collection of vintage guitars, amps, fx, to tease his sonic palette. He also plays the bass, drums and piano. These days he's been hit hard, as has the rest of the world by September's Catastrophe. This is what he has to say about it... "The psyche of the entire world is completely out of balance. The only way to combat destruction is not by copying it, but rather by creating. Create! Create! Create! There is no quick fix to our shared, global trauma, but as Artists, we have traditionally been the ones to try and express what our world is feeling, as a meaningful reflection of a better future.. If we make Art of this tragedy, we can heal ourselves faster." Peace.

Artist History I got my first guitar at age 8. It was an old "Stella" black sunburst 6 string acoustic. It was one of those gems where the strings were too heavy, and an inch off the fretboard.(looking back, I should have just gotten a slide!) I didnt get a playable guitar until I was 11. The next one was a Mann copy of a Les Paul. Good guitar to learn on, it had easy action and better represented my actual ability. Basically, I loved the guitar, and guitar driven music. My motto is simple: don't quit, you'll get there.

Press Reviews Edmonton Journal-August 2001 "...Seeing Javed perform at the Blues Festival is akin to seeing a "Hendrix" @ Monterey or "Townshend" at Woodstock. this man not only knows how to work the crowd, but also how to melt into the music like a whirling dervish." He is the most exciting performer that this city has to offer."
